A bit-access computer in a communication system
Edmund U. Cohler, Harvey Rubinstein · 1964
Systems having computers and communications subsystems are increasing in number. The application of such systems span such diverse fields as process control, message switching, command and control, and multi-user online computer installations. In these systems, a significant portion of the information processed is brought to and sent from the computer on a large number of communication lines, carrying peak bit rates generally from 75 bps to 4800 bps.
